    Computers are similar to cars: if you know what you are doing, you can
    pretty much fix them yourselves for the cost of parts, and minor
    problems don't hold you up much. If you don't know anything about them,
    you have to pay through the nose, they are an endless source of stress
    and suffering, and you will go to unusual lengths to get by.

    I like Hondas Civics myself, closest thing to a solid-state automobile
    you can by. Buy it, it's fully functional without style, but damn if it
    isn't headache-free :-)
